We announce things after they ship, not before. The ingestion, the weighing, the grading, the tape and the terminal are ours end to end — no borrowed dashboards, no third-party charting, and no republished article text.
Sep 17 — One ruler, one mark — the app now grades the same way the public record does. Until today a read the desk had traded was graded at the moment that trade closed, and the rest at the 24-hour mark. Two rulers on one page meant two cards side by side could be judged at different points, and the public record had already moved to a single mark. Every strong read is now graded 24 hours after it posts, with no exceptions. Trades the desk is still running are shown on the card, but they no longer move the grade.
Sep 14 — The desk was rebuilt around your watchlist. The terminal used to open on a Markets column that split your list into the ones moving and everything else, so a quiet market was something you scrolled past rather than something you could read. Your whole watchlist is now the first column — every seat you hold, grouped by asset class, with the last price and the move sitting beside the read. On the move gets a column of its own next to it, the workspace keeps the middle, and the Timeline closes the row. The Record moved to a tab on the edge, one tap away and out of the way until you want it. On iPad in landscape the Timeline joins it there; hold the tablet upright and it straightens into a column of its own that runs the full height of the screen. The phone got the same board as its first tab.
Sep 14 — Pro seats went from 15 to 30. The list was capped at fifteen because fifteen was what the old Markets column could show without hiding half of it. The board shows every seat you hold now, so the ceiling went up with it. Same price.
Sep 14 — A seat only lights up while its market is trading. The tint behind a row used to follow the price — one per cent, applied to everything. One per cent is an ordinary afternoon for a single stock and a violent day for EUR/USD, so the colour was quietly telling you which asset class you were looking at rather than what was happening on it. A row is now shaded when the weighed read is two marks or stronger and that market is open. When the exchange is shut, the row rests.
Sep 11 — PulseVane is on the App Store and Google Play. Both stores, phone and tablet on both platforms — iPhone, iPad and Android. One account across the terminal, the apps and the bot; membership is handled by whichever store you installed from. In August we said release when review clears, and promised no date. Review cleared.
Sep 10 — Every read on the Record now says where it stands, including the ones still running. The Record used to show only reads that had closed, and only two outcomes. Reads still in flight were hidden, and a read that barely moved was counted as though it had gone our way. Every read now carries one of six states, and every card names the ruler it was graded by — the desk’s trade close, or the 24-hour mark. Nothing is hidden while it is still working. Updated Sep 17: there is one ruler now, so a card no longer names which one it used, and “still working” is no longer a state of its own — a trade the desk is still running is shown on the card instead.
